There really aren’t many words to accurately describe my love for sunrise runs, but since I’m asked so often why I do it, here’s an idea of what goes on during the few hours I’m out there:
Mile 1 is always a tough awakening. The air is brisk on my cheeks. It’s dark and hard to see. My mind wanders as I imagine what wildlife is sharing the trail with me & I try to focus on my breath. My fingers go numb. I make sure I am set with everything I need for this adventure & keep moving forward, but consistently look left, right, and behind... the sun will rise soon.
Miles 2-4 I find my pace. The sky starts to glow & the snow shows new and old footprints. A deer runs by. My body generates heat & circulates blood back to my fingertips... I need to pee.
Miles 5-7 are the most exciting. The moon sets over the mountains & the sun lights up any clouds in the sky, sometimes with vibrant colors. The peaks of the mountains to the west start to glow & I watch as they take in the warmth of the sun and the light moves closer & closer... I’m hungry.
Miles 8-10. My immediate surroundings are now coming to life. The trees stand a little taller & the birds chirp. A dog runs by & a human passes. I smile. The runners high hits... what a beautiful life this is.
Miles 10-13 the sun hits my face & blinds me, but a different blindness from the beginning of the run. I think about the last few hours, pick up my pace, focus on my breath again, & finish with confidence... I can now tackle the day ahead as the best version of myself.

«I FINALLY DID IT 🗽🏅⠀
•⠀
On December 31st 2016 I made a resolution that I wanted to run a sub 4:30 marathon. It became my sole aim in marathon running.⠀
•⠀
After 11 failed attempts today I finally did it and the emotion of it all hit me like a tidal wave at the finish line, as you can see by my ugly cry face.⠀
•⠀
It means more to me than I can put into words right now.»⠀

Incredible transformation ☺️ Share your photos with us and we will post them in our account. Apply for a feature following the link in our bio: @RunningTerritory. 🔛 Today I would like to show you a picture that we did exactly 12 years ago. I looked like BB8 😉😍. I was pregnant with my second child you already know. The two pregnancies fattened between 24 and 26 kilos and were followed. What I intend is to encourage these women who may feel bad at this moment and believe that a change is impossible. Dear is possible! And it's never late! I started taking care of my diet at the age of 32 (not the quantities but the quality) and doing more sports a year before. I feel better in all aspects. I encourage you to do that little step for You!📍Madrid, Spain 🌍 #RunningTerritory (📷: @the_running_ant) Follow @RunningTerritory for more.
